Facial Acupressure Points 대전룸알바 Acupressure points located on your face have been used to help treat everything from congestion and headaches to fevers and chills. Acupressure massage is also commonly used in dentistry as a noninvasive method of pain relief. A 2015 study found acupressure massage was effective at decreasing symptoms of bells palsy, a form of paralysis.
This study was designed to investigate if acupressure massage had any beneficial effects on the palsy, subjective symptoms, and depression in patients with Bells palsy. This study collected and analyzed case reports on face palsy using Korean medicine treatments. Ten case reports on facial palsy were published between 2000-2004, eight were published between 2009-2012, and eleven were published between 2013-2017, which indicates Korean medicine treatment for facial palsy has been used consistently, with associated studies being conducted as well.
Numerous clinical studies of Korean medicine treatment for facial palsy are underway, but the review of literature that focused on case reports for measuring the present state of the treatments in clinical fields is inadequate, particularly comprehensive studies on measuring tools, acupuncture, and herbalism. This study shows case reports and diagnoses, evaluating tools, and treatments used in face palsy, as well as the frequency of their use. Studies have shown electroacupuncture to have significant therapeutic effects for facial palsy .

Previously, Chinese medicine has traditionally used Chuna/Tuina Therapy to treat peripheral FNP, either by massaging the face muscles or pressing the face acupuncture points (Fig. The effects of adjustments on cervical spine and tempromandibular joints in peripheral FNP patients using CMT were investigated, but no systematic face chuna techniques were available to the face muscles. The assisted technique is when a practitioner actively assists a face muscle to move in the direction the muscles agonist is moving while a face expression is being made by a face expression using a PNF method .
To release facial nerves and muscles, the practitioner applies acupressure on the face acupoint using fingers to lightly press it for several seconds. Exercises, massage, and breathing techniques during all 4 stages are beneficial in activating the face muscles and nerves through stimulation of the acupoints and meridians.
